297 Dealing With the Wind-Summoning Beast
A casual attack from a Wind-summoning Beast could create a hurricane in its surroundings, and its wind blades that were everywhere destroyed the surrounding fortifications into a mess.
Fortunately, on the main battlefield, the City Defense Army’s main forces had already gained the upper hand, and the number of beasts was decreasing at a constant rate.
The most important task now was to stop the Wind-summoning Beasts from continuing their attack and to prevent the innocent people of Lushui County from being harmed.
Seeing that the situation was dangerous, the two of them immediately increased their speed. Bald Eagle’s figure flashed and appeared directly in front of the Wind-summoning Beasts.
There was a high wall not far behind him, which meant that Bald Eagle had nowhere to retreat.
At this moment, the ground was in a mess. There were ravines everywhere that were cut by wind blades. The wind element around the Wind-summoning Beasts was visible to the naked eye, and it could turn into a sky full of wind blades at any time.
“Captain, we’ve tried to stop this beast, but the wind pressure around the Wind-summoning Beast is too strong. We can’t get close.”
Someone whom Bald Eagle was relatively close to them rushed over and reported after blocking the attack.
Bald Eagle nodded. He looked at the Wind-summoning Beast that was lying on the ground not far away, and his eyes were filled with killing intent.
“Take your brothers and retreat first. Go and deal with the other beasts. Leave this place to me and Lone Wolf.”
“Alright… In that case, Lord Eagle, you should be careful. This beast’s long-range attacks are very powerful.”
The middle-aged man clutched his bleeding left arm, his face pale.
After hearing the captain’s instructions, he was a little confused.
Once he remembered that Lord Lone Wolf had put on the Invisibility Armor, he immediately turned around to leave with the rest of the people from the Hunter Bureau.
A short while later, more than a dozen teams from the Hunter Bureau with varying degrees of injuries had evacuated.
Not far away, a Wind-summoning Beast was lying on the ground. It had seemingly noticed something, but it did not chase after the injured people. Instead, it looked around as if it was searching for something.
“Oh no, the wind pressure around the Wind-summoner Beast is too strong. I can’t adjust the Invisibility Armor. I’m afraid we can’t sneak attack it,” Bald Eagle muttered to himself as he watched the leaves and sand being blown up.
At this moment, there was a slight fluctuation in the s.p.a.ce beside him. The next moment, Lone Wolf appeared in front of him.
“We can’t launch a sneak attack. Let’s change our strategy.”
Looking at the Dark Light Wings on the surface of the Invisibility Armor, which had been loosened by the strong wind, Lone Wolf’s heart ached.
“Then, let’s fight it face to face. Put away your Invisibility Armor first.”
Bald Eagle raised the Magic Crystal Cannon. After giving the order, he immediately raised the muzzle and pulled the trigger in the Wind-summoning Beast’s direction without saying a word.
Boff!
A series of m.u.f.fled gunshots were heard.
The next second, the energy bomb with an orange glow hit the Wind-summoning Beast.
The violent explosion resounded through the surrounding wasteland. The explosion immediately swept through the domain within ten meters. The damage caused even created a pit that was several meters wide and tens of centimeters deep where the Wind-summoning Beast was.
However, the two of them did not think that this Magic Crystal Cannon would have much of an effect.
The abilities of the creature close to them were comparable to that of peak six-star cultivators.
Not only was its body filled with spirit energy, but its bones and muscles were also extremely hard.
The Wind-summoning Beasts would definitely be prepared for a head-on attack.
Soon, the smoke and dust dispersed.
Lone Wolf narrowed his eyes. When he saw the situation in the smoke clearly, his brows furrowed even deeper.
Magic Crystal Cannons were like the “pyramids” of long-range weapons.
Even if it could not be compared to some Divine-grade equipment, it could easily be as powerful as a peak six-star cultivator’s attack.
But Bald Eagle’s magic cannon shot…
Well, the Wind-summoning Beast did not receive any damage.
At this moment, the Wind-summoning Beast was crouching in its original position. Its fur was still clean, and its eyes even had a hint of human-like arrogance.
A light green energy shield was covering its body, like an upside-down bowl.
After being hit by the energy cannon, the Wind-summoning Beast’s energy shield only rippled slightly, but it did not collapse.
Even peak six-star cultivators would find it difficult to match up to such defensive ability.
“This beast’s defense is insanely high. Looks like I can only fight it head on now,” Lone Wolf said in a low voice as he put away the Invisibility Armor coldly.
Bald Eagle nodded. The spirit energy in his body surged, and his peak six-star aura burst out instantly.
“Let’s attack together! I don’t believe that this thing can block the Spirit Wave Sword’s attack!”
Lone Wolf was the first to speak. Then, his figure flashed, and he appeared more than 10 meters away in the blink of an eye.
Bald Eagle followed closely behind, and the two figures shot toward the Wind-summoning Beast like golden shuttles.
Seeing that the other party had taken the initiative to attack, the Wind-summoning Beast immediately stood up to fight. Its tail, which was as thick as a bowl’s mouth and as long as a whip, suddenly swung toward the two people in the air, bringing with it gusts of strong wind.
“Scatter!”
Bald Eagle yelled. He and Lone Wolf immediately split up and continued to approach the Wind-summoning Beast with their swords.
In the face of the strong wind, Bald Eagle activated his energy shield first and dodged the Wind-summoning Beast’s iron, whip-like tail.
He could have activated the Spirit Wave Sword to cut the tail when it was coming, but that would undoubtedly expose his strength in advance, allowing the Wind-summoning Beast to escape.
Therefore, the two of them had come up with a countermeasure on the way. If they had to attack, they would use the Spirit Wave Sword to seriously injure him. If they let it escape, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Bang!
The Wind-summoning Beast’s whip tail had missed, but seeing the two of them closing in on it, the beast no longer held back and immediately roared.
Its deafening cry turned into a visible shock wave, causing Bald Eagle and Lone Wolf to slow down.
Then, the Wind-summoning Beast used its signature attack, and hundreds of wind blades that were about three meters long suddenly condensed around it.
Then, under the Wind-summoning Beast’s control, they split into two groups and shot toward Bald Eagle and Lone Wolf.
Due to the strong wind pressure around the Wind-summoning Beast and the obstruction of the wind blades, the Wind-summoning’s Beast’s body was covered in blood.
It was very difficult for the two of them to get close to the Wind-summoning Beast. When they were within the attack range, they could only use their spirit energy to form a shield and dodge the wind blades.
When they encountered a dense and unavoidable area, they would use their shields to resist.
After a few rounds, the two of them had used up a lot of their spirit energy, but they still could not cause any effective damage to the Wind-summoning Beast.
“Fire the Magic Crystal Cannon a few more times. I don’t believe this beast’s shield is this thick!”
Lone Wolf staggered, and he was forced to take a few steps back by the wind blade. He was furious, and he immediately shouted at Bald Eagle.
Without any hesitation, the latter raised the gun and pulled the trigger in the direction of the Wind-summoning Beast.
Following a dull sound, the orange energy cannon instantly covered a distance of dozens of meters and exploded around the Wind-summoning Beast.
The intense wind pressure was instantly dispersed by the power of the cannon, and the spirit energy shield on the surface of the Wind-summoning Beast also rippled as if it was somewhat unstable.
“Let’s attack together!”
Seeing that the energy cannon had achieved extraordinary results, Lone Wolf did not hesitate and immediately dodged the wind blades to approach the beast.
